Andy Kaufman isn't the only Andy who had songs written about him (REM springs immediately to mind). David Bowie sang about pop artist Andy Warhol, who was around 180cm, and used to hang around with everyone who was anyone! Still today, SO many questions pop up about the guy in quizzes, so Warhol certainly made his mark. There is even a museum devoted to his work.
Andy Kaufman gets 6ft.

Dick would’ve been 51 there so it’s unlikely he’d have lost anything. Honestly, Andy looks 6ft1+ there!

Andy was 6'1" - in the 1976 video (Dick Van Dyke and Company) where I presume Van Dyke to be no shorter than 6', Andy is clearly an inch taller, both are in dress shoes.

Editor Rob I could see it as being possible, he could give a taller than six foot impression at times.

I thought he looked shorter than Jerry Lawler. Jerry Lawler is listed as 6' but he might be shorter since wrestlers add inches to their height.

This is a good listing - solid six feet, but probably not taller than that.
He always looked very similar to the wrestler Jerry Lawler, who is listed as 6'0". Now, I don't know if Lawler is the first wrestler in history to be listed accurately, or whether he was really shorter, but since he looked virtually identital to Kaufman most of the time, and I don't see Kaufman below 6'0", I think his listing is on point. I know my reasoning seems circular, but my confidence in my a priori estimate of Kaufman as six feet is so strong that I think it's valid. I have also seen a picture with Kaufman and Jeff Connoway, where Kaufman looks about an inch shorter.

He looks slightly shorter than Lawler on this picture, but it shows he was probably not 6'0.5" or something like that.

Thanks for adding, one of the greatest performance-based comedians ever. Around six feet is generally what he did look.
